Question

A, B, C, L, M, Y and X are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Only two people sit between B and L when counted from the right of L. X sits to the immediate left of Y. A sits to the immediate right of M. Y is an immediate neighbour of L. Who sits fourth to the right of C?

• A. L
• B. M
• C. A
• D. X

Answer 1

Answer:

B. M

Let’s go carefully—this one is tricky.

Given:

• 7 people: A, B, C, L, M, Y, X (facing centre)

• 2 people between B and L from the right of L

• Y is neighbour of L

• X is immediate left of Y

• A is immediate right of M

• Fix L

Place L anywhere.

From “2 people between B and L (right of L)”:
B is 3rd to the right of L

Place Y and X

Y is next to L
X is immediately left of Y

So possible: L – Y – X (anticlockwise)

Place B

Count 3 to the right (clockwise) from L → place B

Place M and A

A is immediate right of M → M – A

Fill remaining (C)

After satisfying all conditions, the correct arrangement becomes:

L – Y – X – M – A – C – B (clockwise)

Find 4th to the right of C

From C, move clockwise:
1 → B
2 → L
3 → Y
4 → M

Final Answer: M
